Electricians Become Family

So here is how the last couple days has gone.  After not being able to fix the hot water heater Kevin got a new one to replace the old one.  It was free because our water heater has a lifetime warranty.  How is works around here is you get a giant 105 gallon tank that has a ton on insulation.  Then the Co-op has  load management control over it.  They turn it off from 10 am to 10 pm and you get to use the hot water that is there.  It pulls a lot of amps so they don't want to overload the system at peak times.  I hope we don't run out of hot water.  They decided to put a temporary bypass on it for the next couple of days to compensate for the last few that we didn't have hot water.  We need to catch up on a few things!!  All the guys at Gary's Electric in Rushmore are amazing.  Every time they come to fix one thing I have more for them to check out.  They never say we don't have time for that.  They walked in and checked out my air conditioning while they were doing the things that they were supposed to be fixing.   They have done over and above what an electrician should do.  The guys care about our safety and want to make sure the house doesn't burn down. They are flabbergasted about the wiring of the house and sometimes don't have all the answers.  Now back to the hot water heater.  Kevin installed it and we thought that the reason it wasn't starting was because it was during the time that the CO-OP turns it off.  When we woke up and still didn't have hot water we knew something else was wrong.  Lucky for the our electrician was coming to do the septic.  When he looked at it we discovered that the breaker box is marked wrong.  The cistern/well breaker that we had the dryer 220 wired to was actually the hot water heater!  So then I did not have hot water or a dryer.  My hero the electrician fixed the whole mess.  After he left I had septic, hot water and a working dryer.  They also finished cutting the limbs off the wires to my barn light and fixing my pole.   Today he told me he would keep my ticket open which means I have a running tab at the office!!!  SWEET!  I always wanted to have an electrician on tab.    On a different note I picked the color to paint my living room.  I am in love with a tile for my backsplash.
